    Should cost under $1000. Sound quality is good. Dirac live is nice User interface is outdated. Not being able to choose the crossover frequency for individual channels sucks!!

    A good receiver if you need it. I upgraded to this from an old Pioneer Elite 1080p receiver. This one isn’t much different except that it supports 4k / 8k and 9.2 channel surround. One annoying thing is that it randomly wakes up, which my old receiver didn’t do.

    Awesome feature packed receiver. It was easy to setup and sounds fantastic. Sound and video quality through this receiver is amazing. I did had an initial problem with video and sound through BD/DVD input but instructions say try a disconnect and power recycle and it worked. Video is outstanding, even non-4k Blurays look really good on my OLED TV.

    This unit is everything I need, it has all up to date movie surround formats. I had Denon and Marantz receivers before this one and I think the difference is Dirac mic setup. It sounds very dynamic.
